I would generally agree but...
A funny thing happened while testing the iPhone apps integration. When I plugged the iPhone into the BMW supplied Y adapter WHILE an iPhone app was 'playing' (e.g. IheartRadio streaming a local radio station). The X5 "premium sound" system briefly picked up the output of the iPhone app and then quickly switched over to playing just sounds via the iPod app. Even though the "premium sound" system was set to play FM. FWIW this was repeatable.
So it is possible for the X5 to play sounds produced by iPhone apps, other than the iPod app. BMW just appears not to have implemented it.
